The fact that I can't remember where I first found a link to this site is testament to the fact that I spend too much time online. But I was delighted to discover Blue Pagans at the DNC.

I guess I'm what you could call a party Democrat - I'll vote for Obama because he is our candidate and his choice of running mate would not have affected my vote. Even so, the fact that Obama has been piling on the bandwagon to pander to the Christian right has induced me to reach for the Pepto on more than one occasion. I couldn't make it to the end of the "Obama-as-savior" video My American Prayer (thanks to Hecate for the link). It is encouraging, therefore, that Blue Pagans are reporting some signs of inclusivity on the part of the DNC.

On yesterday's "interfaith" service, led by Convention CEO Rev. Leah Daughtry (WTF? nevermind), Rita Moran wrote:

The high point for me, where Rev. Daughtry proved how inclusive she had planned the service to be, came when she stated, "We are created in the image of our Creator, whatever we call Him or Her."

I guess it's a start.

It will be interesting to follow this group as they continue their convention coverage and "share thoughts about pagan political involvement, and about our place in partisan politics."
